Meghan Markle Sends A Message To Supporters After 'The Bench' Hits #1
HuffPost
Both the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry are on parental leave following the birth of their daughter, Lili.
Meghan Markle released a sweet message to supporters on Wednesday, just after her new book, “The Bench,” reached the #1 spot on The New York Times bestseller list for children’s picture books this week. “While this poem began as a love letter to my husband and son, I’m encouraged to see that its universal themes of love, representation and inclusivity are resonating with communities everywhere,” she said in a release shared on Meghan and Prince Harry’s Archewell foundation website. “In many ways, pursuing a more compassionate and equitable world begins with these core values,” she added. “Equally, to depict another side of masculinity — one grounded in connection, emotion, and softness — is to model a world that so many would like to see for their sons and daughters alike. Thank you for supporting me in this special project.”More Related News
